Donnelly to request recount in Dem AG race

The guessing game is over as Democratic Attorney General Candidate Margaret Donnelly makes it clear she will ask the Secretary of State’s Office for a recount of the August 5th primary election in which she finished second to Chris Koster.

Unofficial results show Koster ahead by 794 votes – less than a quarter of a percentage point – out of more than 346,000 votes cast. That is the smallest margin of victory in any statewide race in Missouri history.

Any Missouri candidate who loses a race by less than one percent of the votes cast is entitled to request a state-financed recount.
